Abstract:
Tablet coating is perhaps one of the oldest pharmaceutical processes still in existence. Earlier, Sugar coating was adopted for pharmaceutical as from confectionary industry. But as it was tedious process and required skilled manipulation, film coating was started to be preferred over sugar coating.  Development of film coating was mainly based on solutions of different polymers in various organic solvents. All these solvents are toxic in nature. Nobody ever was concerned about the problems like material cost, toxic effects due to coating or pollution etc. In today's competitive business environment, any cost saved will improve the market viability and success of any product. Therefore, left with no other choice but to eliminate the use of organic solvents and to start using water as the solvent system for tablet coating.
The main focus of this review is, to study various aspects of aqueous based film coating.

While there is a huge opportunity for pharmaceutical and Healthcare companies to sell their products in emerging markets due to rising incomes, higher incidence of chronic and lifestyle diseases, better insurance coverage, and better patent protection regimes for drugs, major roadblocks such as lack of mature distribution networks, lower price points due to generics competition, and counterfeiting are leaving even the large companies struggling to handle the challenges from some of these less sophisticated markets. Local business partnerships and better understanding and responsiveness to cultural differences will be very important in determining the success in emerging markets.

The North Gujarat University was carved out of Gujarat University whose Headquarter is at Ahmedabad. On bifurcation, the North Gujarat University inherited no physical assets from its parent University. It had, therefore, to start its existence ab-initio so far as its local habitation was concerned.
